2. Changes are Short-Term
Response to
cancellation of regular Summer Session
reduced FTES target
For Academic Year only
If there is interest in making any of the changes permanent, request will be made through normal referral process

3. Rationales for Changes
Many students who planned fall based on taking summer classes must revise their fall schedule
Seniors need specific classes to graduate. Giving them priority on the first day of classes has been problematic
Most students need 12 units for financial aid, insurance, benefits, etc.

4. Registration during August Fall Adjustment Period
Currently
Proposed
Four Days
No specific registration appointments; all students can register throughout the entire adjustment period
Eight Days
First day limited to students enrolled in the original summer session; first 12 hrs for post-bacs, seniors, juniors, next 12 hrs for sophomores, freshmen.
Next three days - registration appointments according to class standing
Last four days (which include a weekend) - available to all students

5. Registration during Fall Add/Drop
Currently
Proposed
Add/drop begins four working days before the quarter starts and continues through the first five days of instruction. 
No specific registration appointments; all students can register throughout the entire adjustment period.
Calendar would remain the same.
First three days - registration appointments according to class standing
Next six days (which include a weekend) - available to all students

Proposed
Students can register for a maximum of 16 units during regular registration
